Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Ruthless Person

The Potential Points provided by the Righteous Qi Nourishing Porridge and the Dust-Cleansing Tri-Element Soup were about what Yang Chan had expected. They didn’t reach 0.2, each only adding 0.1. However, this still increased Yang Chan’s daily gain from 1.4 Potential Points to 1.6.

He could now earn over three Potential Points every two days. Although his daily gain didn’t start with a “2” yet, he was getting closer and closer.

The gains from the Dust-Cleansing Tri-Element Soup and the Righteous Qi Nourishing Porridge hadn’t met his expectations. Besides issues with the efficacy of the medicines themselves, it was likely related to the Qi Nourishing Soup and the Strengthening and Nourishing Porridge. Though they were different types of medicine, taking them together seemed to have a diminishing effect.

He had this thought because the effects of the Dust-Cleansing Tri-Element Soup were similar to the Qi Nourishing Soup. ’If I switch to a more advanced medicinal packet, I probably won’t have this problem.’

After upgrading his Wind-Stepping Technique to Tier One, Yang Chan stopped spending Potential Points on it. He added his newly acquired Potential Points directly to the Ox Demon’s Mighty Fist. It wouldn’t be long before his External Refining Copper Skin reached complete Perfection; it was just a matter of time now.

At the same time, Yang Chan planned to figure out the Ox Demon Martial Seal before he broke through the External Refining Copper Skin stage.

Applying a Martial Seal to one’s body caused a massive increase in strength. For example, when Yang Chan saw the Direct Disciple Liu Shengyu use his Nine Oxen and Two Tigers Martial Seal, a single strike made the very ground tremble. Yang Chan later heard that all the houses near the battle site had been destroyed. A huge crater was left in the ground, surrounded by countless fissures, making it look as if there had been an earthquake.

Yang Chan was confident he could also reach Liu Shengyu’s level, so he was naturally focused on the Ox Demon Martial Seal.

’If I can’t return to the Cyan Yuan Sect before I achieve External Refining Copper Skin Perfection, then I’ll just have to get promoted to Elite Disciple here in Qinghan Mansion.’

’Although this would interfere with my original plan, it’s an acceptable compromise to deal with the Ox Demon Martial Seal issue. Of course, it would be best not to reveal my cultivation at all and just stay in the T-shaped Room.’

“Senior Brother Yang, a few more injured disciples have been brought in! You should go take a look!”

Sun Qi Wu arrived outside Yang Chan’s room in the T-shaped Room and called out anxiously.

He was on good terms with Yang Chan and knew that he spent most of his time inside his room, only coming out to handle emergencies in the T-shaped Room.

“Alright. Where were these disciples sent from? What are their injuries?”

Yang Chan, who had been practicing his Fist Technique inside, heard the voice and pushed open the door to ask.

Different injuries required different medicines, so asking directly would save some time.

For these injured disciples, time was life. The severely wounded were essentially in a race against death.

“They’re from the Mausoleum Mountain Range. They all have external wounds from blades and swords, but two of them are seriously injured. One has a severed arm, and the other a severed leg. They’ve only been bandaged crudely.”

Sun Qi Wu quickly relayed the situation. He was already used to Yang Chan’s way of doing things, which was extremely efficient.

This was why, even with new, injured disciples being sent to the T-shaped Room every day, Yang Chan still had time for his cultivation, reading, brewing medicine, and so on.

“The Mausoleum Mountain Range?”

Yang Chan froze for a moment when he heard this.

He knew that Elder Lü Zhenghai and the others had gone to the Mausoleum Mountain Range to target the people from the Three Major Sects.

The previous deaths of Qian Tu, Zhao Qiyang, and others were even related to this matter. After all, he himself had made a rather good suggestion, and judging by the Cyan Yuan Sect’s actions, it was highly likely they had followed through with it.

Although he didn’t know the full details, he could guess that Elder Lü Zhenghai and his group were setting a trap for the Three Major Sects, waiting for them to fall into it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been cleaning out the Three Major Sects’ spies in Qinghan Mansion after leaving.

“That’s right, the Mausoleum Mountain Range where the Three Major Sects are. The disciples Elder Lü brought with him killed many disciples from the Three Major Sects. It’s said that even several of the Three Major Sects’ Inner Refining Elders died.”

Sun Qi Wu had overheard other disciples talking about this while receiving the injured disciples sent back from the Mausoleum Mountain Range.

News like this was a huge morale booster, so naturally, no one tried to hide it.

“I see.”

Yang Chan nodded. ’So they really did set a trap, and it paid off handsomely.’

There weren’t many experts at the Inner Refining Grandmaster Level in any sect.

Even among the Three Major Sects, there were quite a few Inner Master Elders. A few had already died before, and now several more had fallen. This could be considered a devastating blow to their core strength.

By the looks of it, without outside intervention, the Three Major Sects wouldn’t be able to hold out for much longer before being annihilated by the Cyan Yuan Sect.

’This would be the perfect time for me to return to the Cyan Yuan Sect.’

“Junior Brother Sun, first prepare some Hemostatic Powder, Anesthetic, Celestial Union Ointment, and Qi Nourishing Soup.”

Yang Chan gave the orders directly. Among these disciples, the two with severed limbs needed to be treated first. Their injuries were severe, and if he was too slow, they would likely die.

The items he had Sun Qi Wu prepare were for treating these two first.

“Okay.”

After hearing this, Sun Qi Wu went straight to the Pharmacy to get the medicine.

Yang Chan, meanwhile, headed into the T-shaped Room. As he entered, he saw several unfamiliar faces. The two with severed limbs were the most seriously injured; their faces were pale from blood loss.

Although they had been crudely bandaged, they had still lost a lot of blood along the way, which was why they looked so ghastly. If this continued, they would surely die.

Yang Chan first examined the two of them, then prepared gauze. They needed to be re-bandaged to completely stop the bleeding.

Sun Qi Wu was also very fast. The items Yang Chan had asked for were already prepared in the Pharmacy. He had previously compounded these healing medicines, and now was the perfect time to use them.

After he finished treating the two severely injured disciples, Yang Chan began treating the others with lighter injuries.

While treating them, he listened to the injured disciples chat about what happened in the Mausoleum Mountain Range.

The battle between the Inner Masters sounded like a war between Immortals. Though exaggerated, he could still tell how powerful the Inner Masters were.

Although the Cyan Yuan Sect was the victor, they still had many disciples killed and injured. Of course, compared to the Three Major Sects, their losses were nothing.

Even so, two Elite Disciples had died and three were seriously injured. The casualties among Official Disciples were even worse. In comparison, however, the Three Major Sects had suffered losses several times greater.

The experts at the Inner Refining Grandmaster Level, the Direct Disciples, and others had all failed to escape; they were all wiped out.

The injured disciples spoke of it with smug satisfaction, as if recounting their own achievements. Since they had survived, they would receive more Cultivation Resources, so of course they were happy.

Yang Chan, however, sighed internally. ’Even with such a careful plan, the Cyan Yuan Sect still lost so many people.’ What drew Yang Chan’s attention more, however, was Lü Zhenghai. ’To use himself as bait… what a ruthless man.’

While he admired this way of doing things, he had no desire to become that kind of person.

’Even Elite Disciples died. It’s no small expense for the Cyan Yuan Sect to train people like that.’

’It’s far too dangerous. One wrong move, and you’d end up as a pile of bones in the Mausoleum Mountain Range, just a whetstone for someone else’s blade.’
